An analysis of pyrex glass showed 12.9% $B_{2} O_{3}$ , 2.2% $A l_{2} O_{3}$ , 3.8% $N a_{2} O$ , 0.4% $K_{2} O$ and remaining is $S i O_{2}$ . What is the ratio of silicon to boron atoms in the glass?

Solution

Moles of B $_{2} O_{3} = \frac{12.9}{70}$ =0.184
Moles of B atoms=2x0.184 = 0.368
Moles of Si O $_{2}$ = $\frac{80.7}{60}$ = 1.345 = moles of Si atom
Therefore no. of atoms is directly proportional to no. of moles
$\frac{n o . o f s i l i c o n a t o m s}{n o . o f b o r o n a t o m s}$ = $\frac{1.345}{0.368}$
